My cabinet grow journal!

[lilmafia513]

How do you have your fans hooked up?
Ive been trying to hook up fans but I can't figure out how to do it?

I have a side by side window fan that acts as the xhaust in the top of the small cabinet. On the door to the small cabinet on the bottom, i have a 12x12 register cover, like a cold air return on your wall for central air.
That is my ventilation for the small cabinet. It keeps my temps around 76-80 during lights on, for the smaller vegging. Temps are important at this stage.
My other cabinet, you see in the pics with the eight bigger plants, and the fan to the left, that's all i have for that, cuz the room temp stays about 75-78 all the time. So i have an oscillating fan to just move air around.
My intake for that is just the door to the whole room, opened and closed throughout the day.
does that help, i ramble alot sometimes.....LOL!!!!!!

To bad you dont live near i have a brake, shear, and all the sheetmetal in my shop.

 

[SOMEBEECH]

It's so true!!LOL!!!
Well, the pics are usually taken anytime between 5-8 p.m all the time,the lights go out at 8:45 on the dot. I believe the droop was from over water, because i posted somewhere back there, that they had been dropped into a tub of water. Pot, plant and all sank. think it still re-cooping.This was during transplant from small pots to 3 gallon bucket.
So, what can i do about the boron lockout,anything?

That brings back me back to about 6 months ago when this guy was Triming his plant on top of the toilet and dropped it in the chitter and then he was telling everyone lmao.His buds looked all wet and sick looking remeber londner saying NOW THATS A HOW YOU FLUSH A PLANT.LOL

That's definatly how you flush the plant. My girl didn't know what to think when i told her i had to flush my plants, she thought we were getting knocked!!!LOL!!!!

Hey what up man!!
Well i guess i am the proud owner of a 400 watt HPS with no reflector for $50.00!!!
I didn't really want to get it now but you can't stop a bid on ebay!!!!
Oh well, i'll just add this into the cabinet instead of the other MH and have the full spectrum running!
I don't know about the lumens thing, i never really understood that, but i have 4 big plants that are ready to flower,that are in their 7th week of veg., and will be kicked in to 12/12 on sunday. I have 4 more sitting in front of them that are two weeks behind the first four, and the ones in the little cabinet are two weeks younger than the others. Then the babies in the clone-dome are about two weeks behind them. I did this to make a two week cycle for harvest, but i did it with seeds instead of clones!!LOL!!!!
I have side lighting, it is a shit ton of CFL's and four foot shop lights, some have CFL's and others have 2 or 4 flouro bulbs in shop lights. Check out the pics, the big cabinet, in front of the plants is a four foot shop light aimed at the plants.
Hopefully i don't have any males, but it wouldn't bother me if i did, cuz i'm running out of room and haven't even started to flower yet, i 'm scared but not that scared so i'm going for it!!!!LOL!!!!

Awesome, Congtrats on the HPS, thats not a bad price at all. I decide to pick up 2, 150W HPS. just gotta order them and wait. I have a 250W one right now running with some shop lights.

Im very excited that you got them, and are about ready to flower. I am in for the ride my friend. This will be fun. I also just got a quarter of some skunk #1 so I am high as a kite right now, and its perfect for checking out other peoples grows! And this sure is a great one to watch, I can't wait to see them flowering

Mine are going on about 2 weeks old, they are doing good, the 2nd biggest is looking so good, and is catchig up to the biggest really fast. I hope I can get that cam for xmass to share some pics.

As always, thanks for sharing.

If I can give you more rep I will : )

 

[Kratose]

Quick question, what week are you on for your biggest ones? They look pretty good.

Thanks for the comments man, it makes me feel better to hear that mny shit looks good, I'm a proud parent!!!
The biggest ones, Plants 1-4 are on the end of the 7th week today, which is why i may be flowering today if i get time to go over and do it.
Gotta go smoke sumpin' be right back!!!!

 

[lilmafia513]

Hey guys, made a trip to the good ol' hydro shop today to pick up some of the things i've desperatly been needing for awhile!!!

Decided to go with the Fox Farm Grow Big which is a 6-4-4 concentrate mix. Then i reakized you never hear about one wiothout the other, so i got the Tiger Bloom Extra Strength liquid Fertilizer, which is a 2-8-4 mixture.

​

Grow Bigirections, Begin application within two weeks of sprouting or transplanting. Give plants a jump startwith foilar feeding. When plants have reached their peak of veg. growth and are starting to show first signs of flowering switch to one of fox farms extra strength blooming fertilizers.
​

The dosage reccomendations say for:
Every watering - 1 teaspoon per gallon
Heavy feeding - 2-3 teaspoons per gallon every two weeks
Foilar Feeding - 1/2 - 1 teaspoon per gallon,use a pump sprayer and aplly to both sides of leaves. Early mornings are best.

The tiger bloom has some of the similar stuff as far as dosage, but my question is:
Will it be safe to do the dosage for the every watering and not burn the plants? My soil all has blood meal and bone meal int the soil used at transplant into the 3 gallon buckets.
​

If so this makes every thing so much easier for me!!!!!

Also picked up 25 feet of mylar, the real stuff not the thin wrapping paper stuff this time!!!LOL!!!
Some propagation plugs for future cloning of the PPP, WW, and SKunk #1!
some 1/2 gallon grow bags, a new spray bottle.................Oh and a eye loupes set for $4.00 at harbor freight. It has 5 sizes 2x,3x,5x,7x,10x.
The 10x is what i'll probably be using for watching the trich's in the very near future...Hopefully!!
I tried to play with it on a bud i had from some reggies, i like the pics!!!LOL!!!

 

[lilmafia513]

Well, got there today and was not upset to see my babies!!
I got more pics, i'll post the series below. I watered all of the plants tonight, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ALMOST A WEEK BEECH, with the grow big i got today. I used a 1/4 tsp. per gallon to introduce it slowly. next time maybe i'll use a tad over 1/4 tsp., ya think?Here is 1-4:

 

[lilmafia513]

Here are 5- 8, 2 of them are wilting again, but i have not given anything but straight water. Well, i haven't gave them anything in almost a week, i flushed it last and it just now dried out. Which is why i watered tonight, with the nutes.
Anywhoo....here they are:

 

[lilmafia513]

Well, i gues i would have to say that my first time ever cloning turned out pretty decent. I got this beauty of a clone off of Plant #4, two weeks ago!!!!
I know it's just a clone......but it's my first ever clone!!!!!

Here is some shots of it, and the inside of the small cabinet now:

 

[born2killspam]

Looks pretty good.. That wilting is odd, but probably due to the time release fertilizer in the MG soil locking out something else.. There isn't much you can do besides transplant to solve that..

I really didn't want to transplant these again, but maybe i'll have to?

 

[born2killspam]

I don't know how long it takes to leach out.. Thats why flushing with MG soil is iffy because it can dissolve alot more..

This is the same problem i had with plant #3 though, and i flushed it one good time and it cleared right up after about a week.
So, were the pics better this time?

 

[lilmafia513]

Could the problem with the skinny,wrinkly ones be a sign of a weak plant, or maybe males? Just curious?

 

[DubB83]

Check out my seedling tub and think about making a cheap mylar reflector with $1.50 from a party place, a piece of wood, cardboard, the two sockets you have and a bit of wire with a plug on it. You will get less stretching. Also CFLs put out plenty of light on the sides, you will end up with more light if you reflect it from the sides.

 

[lilmafia513]

are you talking about the big cabinet or the small cabinet?

 

[Scalded Dog]

nice set up keep up the good work
and keep taking pics
